  1. If you want an answer to your question, it requires that your unit is inspected by a local LEO who signs the form. That is sent to your LLC office and they process the plates. I did it to avoid California. Mine was registered commercial in CA. It made sense to me to eliminate CA from my life when I went full time with no intention to return. My taxes were already paid. Incidentally, units 11 years old and older get permanent tags in MT.
  2. Originally my truck 2004VNL was equipped with only fog lights even though the housing in the bumper was for both. I am replacing the lights and housings with both fog and driving lights. Does anyone know if the wiring harness has both or if I will need to run additional wiring for the driving lights.
  3. We are at Walnut Hollow Ranch in Hayesville, NC until Aug 22. Then off to Appleton WI.
  4. Arrived at Buckley AFB on Nov 8. Will be here till after the new year.
  5. Have lurked for several months and recently bought an HDT for work. Plan on working for a few more years and then retiring to the RV lifestyle full-time. As you can see by my avatar, GG is a 2004 Volvo 780. She has an ISX 530hp engine with a 13 speed transmission. She is equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, and double bunks. As a truck driver I cannot understand how the manufacturers overlooked the need for a potty but, I plan to correct for this ommision toot sweet. My wife and I like the idea of traveling the country seeing things that as a truck driver I only get to see the signs for. I can't imagine doing it any safer than in an HDT. Looking forward to learning from your experience and adding whatever I can to the forum. Feel free to email me anytime. Mark
  6. New to the forum and to HDTs. My wife and I had decided to go fulltime in a Class A upon retirement in just a few years. Plans were laid and we had chosen the size and options we wanted. We were going to retire early. Well the economy caused significant changes in our plans. After more than 35 years of continuous employment I found myself without. After a few months of looking without success I decided to become a truck driver. After learning about HDTs we have decided that the most prudent action is to purchase a tractor for use in my job for the next three to five years and then convert it to the motivation portion of our retirement home. DW is very satisfied with this decision because the HDT provides the safest method for traveling. I shyed away from fifth wheels because I didn't want to be stuck driving the tow vehicle to the grocery store. But after learning about using is as an overnighter, and the fuel mileage being better than a DP, and driving one, and the list goes on... This has turned out to be the only way to fly... errrr well you know what I mean. The straw that broke the camels back was the cost. Our retirement home will cost much less than the DP making the transistion possible at an earlier date. This makes me a happy boy. I can plan to have my PhD in beer and fishing (I am a strong believer in lifelong learning) a wee bit sooner than our other solution. Besides, I've read a lot of your posts so I feel like I know some of you. Owning an HDT associates us with a more exclusive group of people than those other more routine RVs (read: people as crazy as we are). I am looking forward to shopping, purchasing, modifying, and owning the entire rig and using all of your knowledge to make the trek! Mark & Jackie
